DuPont launched its first product dedicated to the production of green H₂—the DuPont™ AmberLite™ P2X110 Ion Exchange Resin. To support the production of H₂ from water, this newly available ion exchange resin is designed for the unique chemistry of electrolyzer loops.

"The pursuit of new sources of clean energy is critical, with green H₂ well positioned to substantially reduce global carbon emissions," said Alan Chan, Global Vice President and General Manager, DuPont Water Solutions. "At DuPont Water Solutions, we are very excited to introduce our AmberLite P2X110 Ion Exchange Resin in support of these trends toward electrification and decarbonization."

H₂ can be produced by several methods from different feedstocks. Green H₂, which is produced from water by renewable energy-powered electrolysis, can play several major roles in the energy transformation—contributing to the decarbonization of transportation, heat and energy, and as greener feedstock. Electrolysis is the process of electrically splitting the water molecules into H₂ and oxygen gas, and while there are various types of electrolyzers, they all rely on high-purity water as the feedstock to produce H₂.

"Our multi-tech portfolio can help create the high-purity water that electrolyzers require with our ultrafiltration, ion exchange, biofouling prevention, reverse osmosis and electrode ionization solutions," said Verónica Garcia Molina, Global Market Leader, Industrial Water & Energy, DuPont Water Solutions. "The launch of our AmberLite P2X110 Ion Exchange Resin is an exciting first step into the green H₂ market."

Designed to endure the thermal and chemical challenges presented in an electrolyzer, the AmberLite P2X110 Ion Exchange Resin's recipe offers durable and reliable water quality that helps prevent contaminant build-up in the electrolyzer loop. These customized features, and improved removal capacity, present a differentiated option for electrolyzers with more service time than industry generic resins.
